We had dinner at CRAVE tonight after a long day at the Mall of America. Even without a reservation, the wait was only about 15 minutes — not bad during dinner rush.

Here’s what we ordered:

Crunchy Roll – The shrimp tempura was perfectly crispy and fresh. A solid choice if you like texture in your sushi.

Volcano Roll – A tasty roll with bits of scallops sprinkled on top of a snow crab base. Flavor-packed and satisfying.

Artichoke Dip – Really enjoyed this! Creamy with generous chunks of artichoke hearts throughout.

Rigatoni Vodka – This one was just okay. The flavor was there, but it felt a bit dry and could have used more sauce.

Mediterranean Chicken – Two large, well-seasoned chicken breasts over rice with a creamy sauce. Very flavorful and filling.

Traditional Poke – A nice, fresh scoop of tuna on top of greens, rice, and the usual poke toppings. Light and refreshing.

Mexican Poke – Loved the slight kick from the jalapeño. The diced avocado mixed with the tuna gave it a smooth, creamy texture.

Overall, a great meal with a wide variety of options to please everyone in our group. We’d definitely go back!

We had a great experience, the sushi was very good especially the Lobster roll (forgot its actual name but it’s worth it!).
Went on a Saturday at 5, was very busy but still got a table for 2 w/o a wait. Sarah was our server and she did an excellent job and was really friendly and helpful. Kudos to her

Thursday night may not be the best night to go to Mall of America for dinner. It took a very long time for our waiter to come when he did arrive, he was great. I do not recommend the pesto pasta. It was quite dry. The noodles were to firm. The chicken was tough. I did not enjoy the meal… On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate that pasta as a 4.5 or a 5.5

My date ordered the stir fry chicken. He loved every bite of it. I tried his food and it had a wonderful flavor… The chicken in the stir fry was tender and cooked to perfection. The bloody Marys are okay, they don’t put meat or cheese or pickles in the drink. They put in a lemon wedge… And a single olive with a couple pepperoni slices. . The bloody was okay. I prefer the alcohol infused snacks in my drink just because that’s what I’m used to…

Our server Hugo was absolutely phenomenal. Great service, prompt execution of service but not rushing our group. Food was great. Medium Rare bison was well done but still had good flavor.

I had a great experience at Crave! I ordered the Sausage & Ricotta Flatbread, which came with Italian sausage, whipped ricotta, parmesan, breadcrumbs, and fresh basil. The flavors were spot on—savory, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a bit of crunch from the breadcrumbs. The portion was just right for sharing or enjoying as lunch.

Beyond the food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. The atmosphere was inviting, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal after exploring the mall.

If you’re looking for a delicious bite at MOA, Crave is definitely worth a visit!

Stopped here after doing a little shopping, and WOW. This place was a pleasant surprise. The Walleye was AMAZING!!! I also had a cucumber cocktail that was unexpectedly delicious. I wish I could come back daily!!

We sat at a high top by the bar and had two of the current sushi specials before a flight. Absolutely fantastic rolls! One was the margarita roll, and I believe the other was a rainbow roll, and the Pink Panther? I’m not sure. The margarita roll had little slivers of lime on top and were absolute perfection! Holy moly! I could’ve eaten 3 of them by myself! You’re given warm towels at the beginning of your meal to clean your hands. The server/bartender was super attentive and made great suggestions. Wonderful place! Great ambience! Reserve your seating online, just in case!

January 2025. It had been a while since I had been here, and they have changed their chicken wings to flats and drumettes from their previously unsurpassable full wing with wing tips. This version still carried the same quality of their previous version, but lacked the drama of the oversized beauties of old. We also ordered a rainbow roll, which was fairly standard in quality and presentation. My “five stars” are for the wings; I’m not judging their sushi in this review.
